Scite can do it.

Notepad++ probably too but I don't know if it's available on Linux. I just remember it being the text editor to use on Windows.

    Noted. Thank you!

    Notepad++ probably too but I don’t know if it’s available on Linux.

    FWIW, someone else pointed out the existence of Notepad Next. Which IIUC is pretty much an open-source and cross-platform reimplementation.

    I just remember it being the text editor to use on Windows.

    Frankly, I never used it when I was using Windows 😅. I suppose I was (somehow) conditioned at the time to use whatever M$ Office offered instead 😜.

    It can indeed, but Notepad++ is explicitly Windows only.

    There are some clones for Unixlike platforms, and I guess you could run the genuine article in Wine if you really felt like it. But don't go looking for an official Linux build, because there isn't one.
